No politician has lied more than this man. And I include Boris Johnson. And what makes it inexcusable is that unlike Johnson who we know lied to protect his class interests, Starmer pretended to fight for those less well off in order to protect the same class interests as Johnson

Barring a last minute outburst of sanity, in roughly two hours Marieha Hussain, a nine-months pregnant woman, will go on trial for making a political critique in the form of a satirical placard containing commonly used intra-communal humour. Welcome to Britain in 2024.
